New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed has a meniscus injury and could potentially go on injured reserve, according to coach Dennis Allen.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Shaheed's surgery will take place on Thursday in Los Angeles and is expected to determine whether Shaheed will be sidelined for multiple weeks or the rest of the season. «It's something with the meniscus,» Allen said. «I think there's a couple of different options, and so I think that's what we're trying to determine right now.
There's a chance [for injured reserve], certainly.» New Orleans will be without its top two wideouts for Thursday night's game against the Denver Broncos and former Saints coach Sean Payton as wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) also will miss the game.
Tight end Taysom Hill (rib), meanwhile, is considered doubtful. «Pain and functionality. I think he's probably doubtful for this week, but I'm hopeful for the following week,» Allen said of Hill.
